The layout of a farm will be determined by its topography (the direction of slopes). In general, north-facing slopes in the southern hemisphere receive full sun throughout the year. South-facing slopes, depending on their steepness, may never receive direct sunlight. This would have an impact on heat and light available to crops, and thus growth potential.
Slopes are also important when considering harvest surface run-off.
